Kreutzer, Rodolphe: autograph letter signed (ALS)
Autograph letter by Rodolphe Kreutzer (1766-1831), French violinist, teacher, conductor, and composer of forty French operas. The letter is most likely addressed to the adminstration of the Royal Theatres, part of the "Maison du Roi" and dates from around 1815. The letter says:
"Monsieur, j'ai examine avec attention le Diapason de Monsieur Dachon, et Je suis d'avis qu'on peut en faire l'acquisition. Je ne pense cependant pas qu'il puisse atteindre entierement le but que l'auteur s'est propose et que vous desinez, qui est de ne plus entendre s'accorder dans l'orchestre. Le Diapason de Monsieur Dachon sera bon pour prendre un premier accord dans le foyer, princepalement pour les instruments a vent mais il faudra toujours que le La soit donne dans l'orchestre attendu qu'il y a des instruments qui ne peuvent jamais en sortir tels que les contrebasses mais alors l'accord sera moins long et moins desagreable a entendre. J'ai l'honneur d'etre avec respect votre tres humble et tres obeissant serviteur Kreutzer"
Comes with an engraved portrait of Kreutzer by Quenedey, cut out from a book and glued on a larger sheet of paper with handwritten description (from around 1850 it seems). Letter measures ca. 18x24 cm. Written on recto and verso. Engraved portrait measures 20x27 cm, the larger sheet of paper to which it is glued has the size 23x33 cm.

Giovanni Battista Viotti (1755-1824) was an Italian violinist and composer. He is considered one of the fathers of modern violin playing. He was also a director of French and Italian opera companies in Paris and London.
"Londres le 28 Fev. 1820
Monsieur le Baron
une lettre de quelqu’un qu’on aime déjà et qu’on veut aimer encore d'avantage, est une chose qui donne une bien grande satisfaction ! --- La Votre, que je n'ai recue que hier, m'a fait un plaisir tout particulier; - aussi que reconnaissonce est elle proportionée à ce que vous avez bien voulu me dire de bon et d'aimable. - Et les deux petits mots de reproche? -- Ah ceux là sont charmants et mon cœur a su en sentir toute la délicatesse.
Ces malheureux personnels se sont donc donné vendez vous pour etre tous malades à la fois! --- Mon dieu que je regrette que ce soit justement lorsque des affaires indispensables que retiennant loin ? fort! Je ne puis supporter l'idee que mon absences a peut-etre double les embarras de l'administration. Mais que faire de travaille tout que je peux pour sur depecher, malheuresement il faut un temps ? pour metrre en ordre mais tout des choses! - J'espere pour faut que je retrouverai bientot tout le monde reunis, et que Mesdames Fodor et Ronzi ne seront plus de mauvaise humeur. C’est une bonne décision que celle d’avoir remis cette pomme de discorde, cette Gaza ladra. Je l’avois promise à la première en renouvelant son engagement, et la seconde, à ce qui me parait, a bien envie de m’en arracher les yeux ! - Je ne veux point pourtant m’alarmer là dessus, car je lui dirai que j’en ai besoin pour admirer ses contours renaissants, après ses couches.
Mon frère me mande que l’opera, à cause de l’horrible catastrophe, n’ouvrira qu’après Pâques. Il n’y aura donc pas de concert non plus? --- Je donnerais quelque choses de bon pour le savoir, car alors je pourrais completer mes deux mois de congé sans scrupule, et les donner entiers à ma baraque. J'en rage de ai avoir pas encore trouvé la moyen de donner du ailes au lettres.
Vos deux commissions, mon tres cher Monsieur de Baron, sont faites. Les Billes sont chez moi, et je me flatte que vous en serez content. Quant aux oiseaux, j’ai consulté le genre féminin, qui m’a conseillé d’en acheter deux au lieu d’un. J'ai suivi ce conseil? au premier abord, et economique dans le fond. On m’en demandoit partout huit ou neuf guinées pour un seul, les deux ensemble ne m’en coutent que quatre, à cause que l’un n’avoit que les belles plumes et l’autre que les belles couleurs. Mais voici ce que de belles dames anglaises dirent. Que dans aucun pays du monde on n'arranger mieux en sortes de choses qu'a Paris. Qu'on prendra les belles couleurs de celui qui a la queue courte, a causer des fredaines qu'il n'a casse de faire dans le bois; ou les adaptera a celui qui a conservé son beau plumage et ou en fera deux moities superbes chacune avec leur tete & & & --- L'un de ces Messieurs qui savent faire cela, demeure dans la rue de Richelieu pres de la maison de Garcia. --- Ces charmentes bêtes partirant aujourd'hui, j'espere par la Portefeuille, si avec par le courier prochain. Ayez la bonté Monsieur le Baron de la faire reclamer aux affaires étrangers, et si quand vous les aurez vues, vous ne le approuvez pas, je les garderai volontier pour moi meme.
Quelle Longueur, quel bavardage n'est ce pas! --- J'espere que je serai perdonne en faveur des sentiments de consideration et d'affection avec les quels j'ai l'honneur d'être Monsieur le Baron
Votre très humble et très devoué serviteur JBViotti"
Addressed very likely to the Baron de la Ferté, who was a member of the Ministry of the Royal French Household and the Intendant of Theaters.
Viotti studied under Pugnani and toured successfully with him thorugh Europe in the 1780s before he finally settled in Paris. In the French Revolution he had to flee from France and went to England. There he could not perform and so invested his money into a wine business that went bankrupt in the 1810s. Therefore he accepted the position as director of the „Theatre Italien“ in Paris in 1819. A position he held until 1821. This time wasn‘t very successful for neither the Theatre Italien nor Viotti. The letter offered here is exactly from Viottis time a director of the Theatre Italien and is addressed to his boss, the Baron de la Ferté. The content deals with some of the problems at the Theatre Italien, mentioning Josephine Mainvielle-Fodor and Giuseppina Ronzi de Begnis, both opera singer.
Comes with two engraved portraits of Viotti: The famous one by Trofsarelli, done by H. Meyer, and the second one by Guerin, done by Lambert.

Bach, Johann Sebastian: first edition
Grosse Passionsmusik nach dem Evangelium Matthaei von Johann Sebastian Bach. Vollständiger Klavierauszug von Adolph Bernhard Marx. Seiner königl. Hoheit dem Kronprinzen von Preussen in tiefster Ehrfurcht gewidmet vom Verleger. Berlin: Schlesinger. PN 1571. Published 1830. Engraved. Title page + 3 pages subscribers + 1 page index + 190 pages. Measures ca. 34x27 cm. Covers worn, margins worn, spine slightly damaged at the top, binding a bit loose. Inside corners a bit soiled, margins worn, some defects professionally restored (without effect on the music), a few markings. Good copy. The St. Matthew Passion by Bach was already composed in 1727 and also premiered. But after the death of Bach in 1750 this work and the whole oeuvre of Bach fell into
oblivion. Bach did not meet the musical taste of the late 18th century. At that time only handwritten scores of the works by Bach existed. At the beginning of the 19th century Bach was rediscovered
by some composers and musicians. The starting point was marked with the „re-premiere“ of the St Matthew Passion under the baton of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in 1829. Since this event Bach is
counted as one of the greatest composers of all time and performed regularly.

Boulez, Pierre: signed photo
Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) was a French composer, conductor and – as Wikipedia says - „one of the dominant figures of the post-war classical music world“. He studied under Olivier Messiaen and Rene Leibowitz. In the 1950s he was one of the leading figures of avant-garde music and several of his compositions are considered as landmarks of 20th century music, like „Le marteau sans maitre“ or „Pli selon pli“. Beside his activities as a composer Pierre Boulez was also an important conductor. He was principal conductor of the New York Philharmonic, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, music director of the Ensemble Intercontemporain and guest conductor to nearly all major orchestras in the world. For sale is here a large photo of Pierre Boulez with a personal inscription and autograph below. The photo measures ca. 14x18 cm and is sticked on a larger cardboard (measuring ca. 21x29 cm). Below Pierre Boulez wrote in his own hand: „Nach Original aus ...exploisante-fixe... Mit besten Wünschen“. It is signed by Boulez and dated „Berlin, 23.1.96“.

Cramer, Johann Baptist: score
Collection of two early editions of the 84 etudes for piano by Johann Baptist Cramer (1771-1858). These etudes are considered one of the most important works in piano
education. The book includes: 2) Deuxieme Suite / Etude / pour le Piano-Forte / en Quarante-deux Exercises / en differents tons / calcules pour faciliter les progres de ceux qui se / proposent d'etudier cet instrument a fond. Livre II. Paris: Frey. No PN. 89 pages. Engraved. There is little information about the publishing house „Frey“. It took over the publishing house of Cherubini, Mehul et Comp. In 1811. Therefore the copy here must have been published shortly before this acquisition and was released just shortly after the first edition by Cramer in 1809. Rare, I could not find a second copy of this edition neither in RISM nor worldcat. Covers worn, spine slightly damaged at the top and bottom. Binding strong. Inside a nice copy. Handwritten name on the flyleaf „Teodor de Orsy (?)“

Federici, Francesco: early handwritten score
Francesco Federici (17??-1830): Il cor balzar mi sento – Recitativo e Polonese. From the opera „Zaira“ (1799). 22 pages, Measures ca. 30x24 cm. Handwritten full score for 2 violins, 2 flutes, clarinet, horn, viola, basso and voice. Title page with the handwritten name of „Madame Colette Reiset“ as well as „Mme Colette Godefroy“. That means the score was in possession of Colette de Reiset before her marriage in 1804. Due to the fact that the opera „Zaira“ was completed in 1799 this score must be one of the earliest editions. Colette de Reiset (1782-1850) was a noble lady. She received music lessons from Louis Joseph Saint-Amans and became a good amateur pianist. In 1804 she married Comte de Reiset, a senior official of the French government. Colette Reiset used her social position to organise concerts and support composers.

German National Anthem: first edition
Das Lied der Deutschen von Hoffmann von Fallersleben. Melodie nach Joseph Haydn's: "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser, unsern guten Kaiser Franz!". Arrangirt für die Singstimme mit Begleitung des Pianoforte oder der Guitarre. (Text Eigenthum der Verleger). 1. September 1841. First edition! Hamburg, bei Hoffmann und Campe. Stuttgart, bei Paul Neff. 2 sheets. Measures ca. 19x28 cm. Modern red Maroquin covers, title coined in gold. 2 flyleafs and back leafs. Outside only slightly worn, on the back cover a few scratches. Music inside a bit foxed, otherwise good. The history of the German National Anthem starts in 1797 with the composition „Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser“ by Joseph Haydn which was written to tribute Emperor
Francis II, the last emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. After the breakdown of the empire in 1806 different forces acted on the German kingdoms (for example the French under Napoleon) and caused a
German patriotism. This took form in many new patriotic songs („Rheinlieder“). Hoffmann von Fallersleben made holidays on Heligoland in the summer of 1841. On 26 August 1841 he wrote the three
stanzas that later made up the anthem. The text was written especially for the melody by Haydn and so a reference to the „old empire“. Three days later the book dealers Campe and Neff came to
Heligoland to bring Hoffmann von Fallersleben the first copies of his recently published book „Unpolitische Lieder“. At this occasion Hoffmann von Fallersleben mentioned his new creation and the two
book dealers agreed to publish the work. Only two days later (!) on 1 September 1841 the score was published.

Jägermeier, Otto: scores
A nice collection of scores of the „composer Otto Jägermeier“. Otto Jägermeier is a fictitious composer invented by several musicologists and composers who added „biographical information“ and compositions to the life of Otto Jägermeier. In the 1980s and 90s Otto Jägermeier became quite popular and a Jägermeier Society and a publishing house (OJOT) for his works were founded. At that time several of his „compositions“ were performed and all of them are of humorous character. As a conclusion Otto Jägermeier was the organised running joke of the German classical music scene at that time. In the last decades he fell more and more into oblivion and now his scores are very hard to find. The collection includes: 1) Gute Nacht - Lied für (mittel-)hohe Stimme und Orchester. Full score in autograph (sic!). Berlin: OJOT. PN 008a. 25 pages. 2) Die Wut über die verlorenen Sechser (frei nach Beethovens "Die Wut über den verlorenen Groschen"), für Klavier zu 4 Händen. Berlin: OJOT. PN 004. 21 pages. 3) Au sujet de l'eloignement graduel ("Über die allmähliche Entfernung"). Prelude et Sonate a la breve pour le piano. Berlin: OJOT. PN 002. 25 pages.

Kaun, Hugo: signed score
Hugo Kaun (1863-1932) was a German composer with a strong connection to the US, especially Milwaukee. Hugo Kaun was born in Berlin and first studied music at the local Royal Academy of Performing Arts, but continued and finished his studies in Chicago. He settled in Milwaukee, founded the Milwaukee Liederkranz and conducted the local men's choir and therefore had an enormous impact on the musical life. Hugo Kaun was befriended with Theodore Thomas, the founder and conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra who premiered all three symphonies by Hugo Kaun. At the turn of the century Hugo Kaun returned to Germany, taught at the Academy of Arts and became later professor there. From 1922 till his death in 1932 Hugo Kaun was composition teacher at the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory in Berlin. The compositions by Hugo Kaun were late romantic, at the end a combination of Wagner and Impressionism. Hugo Kaun was a friend of Peter Raabe, who later would become the head of the Nazi State Music Institute (Reichsmusikkammer) and therefore his compositions had the "bad luck" to be much performed during the Nazi times and so are somewaht connected with the Nazi regime today. For sale is here the score of the piano reduction of the work "Der Führer" by Hugo Kaun. The work is scored for men's choir and orchestra on a poem by Hagen Thürnau
and refers NOT to Adolf Hitler, but only to a mountain guide from the poem. The score was published around 1930 by the "Amsel-Verlag", a publishing house founded by Hugo Kaun's daughter Maria. This
short-lived company only published works by Hugo Kaun, his last compositions, maybe 10 in total. This is the first publication of the company with plate number A.V.1. It bears an inscription by Hugo
Kaun on the title page saying (roughly translated): "Mister Dr. Siegfried Burgstaller in cordial attitude handed over by the author - 1931". Siegfried Burgstaller was a German composer who later also
made career as an officer in the Nazi State Music Institute. The score has 15 pages, measures ca. 27x35 cm and is in fine condition.

Krenek, Ernst: autograph musical quotation signed (AMQS)
Ernst Krenek (1900-1991) was an Austrian-born, later naturalized US composer. He is one of the most influential composers of the 20th century and his life is full of interesting stories. He studied in Berlin under Franz Schreker, then moved to Vienna where he met the daughter of Gustav Mahler. The couple married and was divorced the same year, while Krenek had an affair with the eminent violinist Alma Moodie who premiered his first violin concerto at that time. In the early 1920s Krenek adopted the twelve-tone technique of Arnold Schoenberg and became one of the spearheads of this technique as well as "modern, atonal" music. His opera "Jonny spielt auf" (1926) with its leading role of a black musician who steals brought up the criticism that Krenek supports the Nazi party in Germany. On the other hand the Nazi Party defamed him and his works for being Jewish (which he wasn't). So Krenek emigrated in 1933 from Europe to the US and taught at different universities. Notable students of him are Milton Babbitt, George Perle or Halim El-Dabh. Krenek is best known for his operas of which he composed 22. For sale is here an autograph musical quotation signed (AMQS) by Ernst Krenek (1900-1991). The card shows the twelve-tone row of an unidentified composition. It is signed below with Krenek's full signature and dated "Hamburg, 19.8.1970". This maybe points to the opera "Sardakai" which was premiered in Hamburg in June 1970. I don't know the score of Sardakai, so could not check if the twelve-tone row belongs to that work. But it seems to be a fair guess. Card measures ca. 15x9 cm, verso is blank.

Kricka, Jaroslav: autograph postcard signed
Jaroslav Kricka (1882-1969) was a Czech composer. He studied first under Vitezslav Novak at the Prague Conservatory and continued his studies in Berlin. Then he worked for three years in Dnepopretrovsk (Russia) where he formed a friendship with the composers Alexander Glazunov and Sergei Taneyev. Then he moved back to Prague, became choir master of the chorus of the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, later he was appointed composition professor at the Prague conservatory. As a conductor Jaroslav Kricka was a champion on Czech and Russian music, he premiered works by Leos Janacek or Vitezslav Novak. Notable students of his professor career are Vaclav Trojan, Jan Kapr or Jan Cikker. His compositions are well performed and respected, but often stand behind his much more popular fellow composers Vitezslav Novak or Joseph Bohuslav Foerster. Nevertheless Jaroslav Kricka is one of the most renowned and distinguished composers and musicians of the Czech Republic. For sale is here an autograph postcard signed by Jaroslav Kricka. The postcard is addressed to publisher of Jaroslav Kricka, the - now defunct - Czech publishing house Hudebni Matice in Prague. The postcard dates from 10 October 1948.

Dvorce" which refers to the home of Jaroslav Kricka in Cervene Dvorce near Susice. The postcard has some wear at the edges, but overall in good condition. Measures ca. 14x10 cm.

Lopatnikoff, Nikolai: autograph musical quotation signed (AMQS)
Nikolai Lopatnikoff (1903-1976) was a Russian-born and later naturalized American composer. He first studied in St. Petersburg, but his family had to flee from the Russian Revolution first to Helsinki (where he studied at the Sibelius Academy) and then to Germany. His teachers were Ernst Toch and Hermann Grabner. Early compositions of him were his two piano concertos and the First Symphony which all were performed widely in Europe during the 1930s. Lopatnikoff was also invited to compose a work for the Welte Mignon mechanical piano in 1936 (like George Antheil or Gerhard Muench). His success raised interest by Aaron Copland and Serge Koussevitzky which led to a longtime friendship and many premieres of Lopatnikoff's works by the Boston Symphony Orchestra of Koussevitzky. In 1939 Lopatnikoff emigrated in the USA where he finally setlled in Pittsburgh and lectured as a professor for composition at the Carnegie Mellon University. For sale is here an autograph musical quotation signed by Nikolai Lopatnikoff (1903-1976). It shows three bars from his Symphony No.2 op.24. The work dates from 1939 and was premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra under Serge Koussevitzky on 23 December 1939. Below the handwritten music quotation is the signature of Lopatnikoff. The autograph is not dated. Verso is mainly blank, but shows the number 255 in one corner. Surely Lopatnikoff cut out this paper snippet from a larger manuscript with this page being number 255. Measures ca. 25x11 cm. Very good condition.

Malipiero, Gian Francesco: autograph letter signed (ALS)
Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973) was an Italian composer. He studied with his father Francesco Malipiero, later under Marco Enrico Bossi, but was also largely self-taught. After attending the world premiere of Stravinsky's "Sacre de Printemps" in Paris in 1913 and meeting fellow composers Alfredo Casella and Gabriele d'Annunzio, he withdrew nearly all of his early compositions and came to a new, personal compositional style. Malipiero was professor at the conservatory in Venice for 20 years until his retirement. Among his notable students are Luigi Nono, Roger Sessions and his own nephew Riccardo Malipiero. Malipiero's compositions are important examples in the oeuvre of the 20th century and are still performed regularly today. For sale is here an autograph letter signed by Gian Francesco Malipiero. The letter is addressed to a person in Germany, most likely an admirer of Malipiero. Malipiero writes that he would like to meet the addressee personally sometime and show him some of his other compositions. Malipiero writes also that "it is very easy to sink into oblivion before one dies in these days". Gian Francesco Malipiero signed the letter at the end and dated it "Asolo (Treviso), 10.VI.1957". The letter measures ca. 23x29 cm, was folded twice to fit into an envelope, verso is blank. The letter comes with the corresponding envelope, the stamp was cut out, but the autograph handwritten address is fully ledigle and verso shows the coined name and address of Malipiero. All in all in good condition.

Nathan, Isaac: score
Extremely rare edition of the German translation of the famous „Hebrew melodies“ by Lord Byron and Isaac Nathan. The only edition was published 1822. The publishing house "Magazin für Kunst, Geographie und Musik" was short-lived and released only a handful of music scores. Covers worn, the fron cover nearly loose, the back cover is loose. Inside the margins wworn, heavily foxed, otherwise in good condition. The original pages 61 to 68 are missing and were replaced by handwritten copies. The handwritten copies were bound into the score, are of good quality and are most likely from around 1850. Lord Byron (1788-1824) was an important English poet. In 1813 the young up-and-coming composer Isaac Nathan (1791-1864) wanted to participate in the general interest of „exotic music“ and announced a collection of Hebrew melodies with text. Surprisingly he could get Lord Byron to write him the poems for his music. In 1815 the score of the first 12 songs was published as well as a book with only the poems. The whole project became quite a scandal because Isaac Nathan claimed that some of the used melodies were ancient and already used in the temples of Jerusalem – which was a lie. In addition Lord Byron had a sexual affair with his halfsister in 1816 that forced him to leave England. Moreover the fact that a Christian (Lord Byron) wrote the texts to a collection of Hebrew melodies composed by a Jew (Isaac Nathan) gave reason to much gossip. This all made the collection very popular. Lord Byron‘s poems were translated in several languages and later set to music by much more famous composers like Mendelssohn Bartholdy or Robert Schumann.

piano 2 hands
Musikalisches Pfennig-Magazin für das Pianoforte. Redigirt von Carl Czerny. Wien: Tobias Haslinger. No PN. Engraved. 208 pages. Published 1834. Measures ca. 27x34 cm. Cover with glued title page, margins worn, a bit soiled. Inside binding a bit loose, slightly foxed. Otherwise in good condition. Contains all 52 issues of the first volume of this series. It started in 1834 and each Saturday a new issue was published. It contained piano compositions for the advanced amateur, often popular works in an arrangement for piano done by Czerny. This first volume also contains the first edition of "Ecossaise" WoO 23 by Beethoven. The work was composed in 1810 for military band and performed one time, but the manuscript got lost. The musician Wenzel Krumpholz attended this performance and just from his memories Czerny created a piano version of it. And this version – the only existing one - was published here the first time.

Musikalischer Ehrentempel - Eine Sammlung der besten Compositionen für's Pianoforte. Hefte 13-24. Hamburg: Böhme & Cranz. PN E.T.H.13-24. Engraved. Published 1831.
Measures ca. 34x27 cm. Black cardboard covers, outside worn. Inside water stain on the first pages, slightly foxed throughout. All in all in good condition. In addition the book contains two portraits in lithography by Leo Lehmann (1782-1859). The two portraits are of Nicolo Paganini and Ferdinand Ries. Both lithographies are not signed, but I could find an identical portrait of Ries in the archive of the Beethoven Haus where it is assigned to Leo Lehmann. The lithography of Paganini looks very similar to the Ries in terms of paper, size, technique, etc. Therefore it seems likely that this portraait is by Leo Lehmann as well but I ccould not find a verification for this. I could not even find another copy of this portrait at all! And why these two portraits are part of the book – none of them is presented with a composition – is unclear. The Musikalische Ehrentempel was a short-lived publication that only existed from 1830 to 1831 with a total of 24 issues. It presented popular piano pieces in attractive editions and – this was new and special – added playing instructions at the end of the work. The series also provided explanations to common musical terms (like the one added in this copy). Hence the series aimed to the piano amateur of the bourgeoisie not the concert virtuoso.

Prokofiev, Sergei: score
Sergei Prokofiev: ballet "The tale of the stone flower" op.118. Excerpts and dances from the ballet arranged for piano. Moscow: Musical supplement to the journal "Soviet music" No.1. PN 24051. Published 1954. 38 pages. Measures ca. 27x20 cm. Margins slightly worn, otherwise a good copy. The ballet „The tale of the stone flower“ was composed by Prokofiev in 1950.

Therefore the above supplement seems to be the very first publication of music from the ballet. Rare

Schusser, Nicasius: score
Fr. Nicasius Schusser: Quo Vadis? Dramatische Oper in 3 Akten und einem Nachspiel. Text nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Henryk Sienkiewicz und einer Dichtung von H. Kain. Klavierauszug mit Gesang (Erleichterte Ausgabe). Falkenau a.d.E. (CSR): Edition Kafa. No PN. 254 pages. Measures ca. 24x30 cm. Covers soiled and worn. Inside lower margin soiled, a few markings, otherwise good. The Franciscan monk Nicassius Schusser, doorkeeper of the Capuchian monastery in Falkenau a. d. Eger, published some sinfonies and operas in the 1920s and 30s. These
works were noticed with awe from the classical music scene due to its quality and the fact that they were composed by a music amateur only in his leisure time. For example Schusser claimed to have
written his opera „Quo vadis“ within 12 years and finished in 1932. The opera was premiered with success in 1935. But only two years later it was revealed that major parts of this opera were copied
note by note from the opera „Blume und Weißblume“ (1910) by the Austrian composer Mathilde Kralik (1857-1944). Such huge plagiarism and fraud is rare in classical music, especially with a premiere of the work and a published score! In addition this copy is a rarity too. I could only find two other copies of this edition in public libraries world wide.

Spohr, Louis: score
Louis Spohr: Premier concerto pour la clarinette op.26. Parts. Leipzig: Peters. PN 964. Very likely published around 1814 shortly after the death of Kühnel (the previous owner of the publishing house, dated through the plate number). Folio. Complete set of parts: solo clarinet, as well as 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 clarinos (=trumpets), timpani, 3 first violins, 2 second violins, 2 violas, 3 cellos/double bass. Solo part heavily worn on the margins, some tears in the title page, binding taped. The other parts mainly in good condition, sometimes a bit soiled. A full score of the clarinet concerto op.26 by Spohr was published not until 1957 (!) by Bärenreiter. Therefore full scores had to be done by copyists the time before. This set includes such a handwritten full score. The score consists of 124 pages in a professional music handwriting. The work is written on music papers of the „Hofbuchbinder Timbe“ in Oldenburg. The main activity of this company was between 1880 and 1900. And it seems likely that the full score was created at the same time. Folio format. Margins worn and a bit soiled, otherwise good.

In World War 2 he had to emigrate to France, later to Algeria. After the war he lectured at the conservatory in Saarbrücken, later in Grenoble.

Stockhausen, Karlheinz: autograph letter signed (ALS)
Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007) was a German composer and widely acknowledged by critics as one of the most important but also controversial composers of the 20th century. He is known for his groundbreaking work in electronic music, for introducing controlled chance into serial composition, and for musical spatialization. He studied under Olivier Messiaen and Werner Meyer-Eppler and was one of the leading figures of the Darmstadt School. Several of his compositions are landmarks of 20th century music like „Klavierstücke“, „Kontra-Punkte“, „Gesang der Jünglinge“, „Kontakte“ or the opera cycle „Licht“. For sale is here an autograph letter signed (ALS) by Karlheinz Stockhausen. The letter is completely in the hand of Stockhausen. It is addressed to „Herr Dobbelstein“, which is – considering the content of the letter – Rainer Dobbelstein, who was at that time diplomat at the German embassy in Warsaw (Poland). Stockhausen writes about his problems to visit the music festival „Warsaw Autumn“ and calls for help. He writes „exactly“ (roughly translated by me): „Dear Mr. Dobbelstein, Karlheinz Stockhausen made his debut at the Warsaw Autumn in 1958 with groundbreaking performances of his „Gesang der Jünglinge“ (conducted by himself) and a performance of his „Klavierstücke“ by David Tudor. His works were performed regularly at the Warsaw Autumn in the following years, but Stockhausen himself could not attend those performances it seems. The letter measures ca. 21x29 cm and is written on the back of a calendar sheet. The mentioned copy of the Stockhausen letter to Warsaw Autum is not part of the offer, neither is the envelope. 149€ |

Tomasi, Henri: autograph letter signed (ALS)
Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) was a French composer and conductor. He studied under Vincent d'Indy and Philippe Gaubert and had immediately success as a composer and conductor. In 1927 Tomasi won the Prix de Rome for his cantata „Coriolan“ and a first prize in conducting. Tomasi founded the group „Triton“ with his fellow composers Prokofiev, Milhaus, Honegger and Poulenc which had the goal to promote contemporary classical music. He was also one of the first radio conductor while working at the Radio Colonial Orchestra in French Indochine. He later became the conductor of the French National Orchestra. In 1957 Tomasi had to quit his conducting career due to physical problems. He continued to compose and created many orchestral compositions, among them his most famous work, his trumpet concerto. For offer here is an autograph letter (ALS) by Henri Tomasi. The letter is written to an unidentified recipient. The letter is signed at the end in full and the paper
also bears the letterhead with the personal address of Henri Tomasi at the „24 rue Victor Masse“ in Paris. The letter is not dated, but seems to be from the early 1960s. The letter measures 27 x 21

Veerhoff, Carlos: scores
I personally own a large part of the musical estate of Carlos Veerhoff. That includes many autograaph manuscripts, but also many printed scores. Although Carlos Veerhoff is considered as one of the most important composers in Germany in the 20th century, only a handful of his works were published commercially. Therefore Veerhoff self-published most of his compositions. After his death in 2011 it is nearly impossible to find these self-published scores. I have copies of these printed scores for many of his compositions. If you are interested in one of the following scores, drop me a line to get a price. If you would like to have more information about Carlos Veerhoff, please check my biography of him on my website here.

Verdi, Giuseppe: score
Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) was an Italian composer and one of the most popular opera composers of all time. Among his most famous operas are "Rigoletto", "Il trovatore" and "La traviata". The opera "Il trovatore" (The troubadour) was composed between 1850 and 1853 and premiered 19 January 1853 in Rome (Italy). Since then thousands of performances happened and the work is a standard repertoire for most opera houses. For sale is here a score of the piano reduction of the complete opera "Il trovatore" without the texts. Engraved. It was published by Tito di Gio. Ricordi in Milano in 1853, has 139 pages in total and the plate numbers 24967-24986. It measures 36x26 cm and is bound in cardboard. The title page is glued on the front cardboard, the last page on the back cardboard. Inside the score is complete and has no tears or damages. There is a water spot on the upper margin from about half of the score to the end. In the middle the spot is very vague and becomes more obvious to the end. Please check photo of the last page to see the "worst condition". Please check also other photos to get an impression on the general condition. The history of publications of scores to "Il trovatore" is complicated. Hopkinson gives at least 7 different publications already in 1853, the year of the premiere! The score for sale here seems to belong to the edition 54A(e), the "First Milanese Complete Edition". Ricordi also published the piano reduction with texts in 1853 with plate numbers 24842-24863. So this edition for sale here followed shortly afterwards.

Zupancic, Nicolaus Carl: musical diary
The musical diary of the Ödenburg (Sopron) musician Nicolaus Carl Zupancic (1858-1929) from the years 1891 to 1898. Nicolaus Carl Zupancic was born in 1858 in Karlovac (today Croatia) and studied music at a conservatory. At first he joined the military band of the infantry regiment 76 in Vienna. He shortly quit military service and settled in Ödenburg (today: Sopron in Hungary). There he worked as a music teacher and was an active part of the musical scene in the area Ödenburg-Eisenstadt-Raab (Sopron-Eisenstadt-Györ). During his lifetime he founded several string quartets that performed regularly in the region (with him at the cello). He also established the tradition to perform the string quartet version of „Die 7 letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze“ by Haydn at the Bergkirche in Eisenstadt on Good Friday every year. Zupancic started this tradition in 1898 and it is still done today without any interruptions for over 100 years. Zupancic died in 1929 and the city of Sopron honoured him with a ceremonial act and a commemorative plaque. Nicolaus Carl Zupancic had several children of which some became musicians as well: Wilhelm Zupancic became professor for cello in Pecs, Nicolaus jun. became cellist with the Wienna Philharmonic Orchestra and professor at the Vienna Music Academy. The diary for sale here is of great historical interest. Two events described in the diary stand out: The diary starts in 1891 and ends with the year 1898. This period of time includes the founding of the very first string quartet by Zupancic. The other members of thsi string quartet were Richard Buresch, Karolyi Straner and Oscar Russ. The diary describes the history and progress of the quartet, performances, death of members, etc. Other musicians mentioned in the diary are: Viktor Altdörfer (1860-1939), organist and pianist, studied in Vienna and Leipzig. Altdörfer was born in Sopron and therefore supported the local music scene with his abilities and connections. There are many entries in the diary that mention Altdörfer. Elek Kirchner (1852-1932), composer from Györ. He dedicated onee of his string qquartets to the Zupancic quartet. The story aabout this dedication is part of this diary. That includes also the very first run of thee Zupancic quartet through the composition done in the train (!) back from Györ to Sopron. And these persons are also mentioned: medical officier Dr. Linardic, pianist Pollay Vilma, bank director Victor Bössl, Joseph Felkl, Bela Dudas, Franz Niemetz, Victor Schreiner, Eduard Kugler, Victor Horvath, Adolph Manninger, Bela Kiraly, professor Stocker, Frau Krickl-Lorenz, Paul Iby, professor Bancso, professor Mally, Irma Pataky, etc. Added is an old photo of an unknown woman.
